The Portland Observer, Thursday, March 9, 1933

Mrs. Clara Mathews, who, had she lived would have been 74 years of age the 6th 
of next August, died Wednesday morning at her home on Lookingglass avenue 
following a month’s illness brought about by an attack of the flu.  Funeral 
services will be held Friday morning at St. Patrick church with burial in 
Portland cemetery.

Mrs. Mathews was born at Lebanon, Indiana, and came to this vicinity when a 
young girl.  Her maiden name was Clara Lloyd.  During her young womanhood she 
spent two years at Monroe convent and when 22 years of age was united in 
marriage to Charles Mathews, who passed away a number of years ago.  For some 
time after her marriage she resided in Sebewa on the place known as the Vene 
Franks farm, later moving to Ionia where she remained until 45 years ago when 
she again came to Portland residing here since.  She was a devout Christian 
and member of the Christian Mothers; a friendly neighbor and devoted wife and 
mother who will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends made throughout 
her almost lifelong residence in this vicinity.

Three sons and two daughters survive.  They are John B., of Portland; Samuel, 
of Lansing; Leo, of Fort Wayne, Ind.; Miss Katheryne, at home, and Miss Alice, 
of Lansing.
